LLE is designated a “Fight Building,” which means that trained LLE personnel may fight a small and contained fire in which there is a clear exit. To provide training, the Laboratory offered an on-site fire-fighting safety class through the University’s Fire Safety Unit, coordinated by LLE facilities manager, John Sawyer. Shown is the University’s Fire Safety Coordinator, Kathy Weaver, demonstrating the proper use of a fire extinguisher to put out a staged fire. Twenty-three individuals participated in several sessions.
